Welcome to the new American Dream.

One with untraffic, unaggravation, unsuburbs, unboredom and a totally uncommon way of life. Ballston Quarter is a true urban village filled with people who want to live where they also work and play—people who want to live life to the fullest. Everything you need is just footsteps away. Located on the Metro four miles from DC, Ballston Quarter is a place where all of Arlington will come together to experience a life that’s as purposeful, thoughtful and true as you are. This is the new American Dream. And it’s happening right here in Ballston.

Coming 2018

New shops. New places to eat. New experiences.
And an all-new Ballston Quarter.
It’s what you’ve been waiting for.

First Up

Announcing Quarter Market at Ballston Quarter: the new hub of the Northern Virginia food scene. 18 culinary trendsetting restaurants mingle deliciously in one of the region’s largest food halls. The following eateries will be included in the food hall’s internationally inspired, growing line-up, alongside nine others, which will be announced within the coming months as Ballston Quarter gears up for opening in Fall 2018.

Feel what it’s like to be in a place filled with style, food, cool shops and inspiring people.

Located on the Metro four miles from Washington, DC, Ballston Quarter will energize you with experiences that feel authentic, local, real. Our goal: to create the next “it” place… a place where people will want to come together to create a life as unexpected, singular and true as they are.

The retail scene here isn’t just about buying things. It’s about creating an experience that feels authentic and memorable.

Ballston is home to members of DC Metro’s affluent and educated “creative class.” This group seeks specially curated, local experiences in dining, shopping, entertainment and life in general. They value fashion, health & fitness, education, stylish living and creativity.

Working here is about having talent, accessibility and all the conveniences right outside your door. Working where you live means you can put more life in your work. And you’ll be in great company. Accenture, Applied Predictive Technologies, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, E-Trade, Marymount University, the Office of Naval Research and Virginia Tech, (to name a few) are all located nearby.

Where Success Lives.

“As satisfied as we’ve been with our decision to locate our headquarters in Ballston, we can’t help but be excited about what the future will bring with the redevelopment of the Ballston Common Mall. Ballston will become the type of place preferred by companies like ours, focused on hiring and retaining the best and the brightest.” — Clark Maier, director of property and facilities management, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association

“Marymount University is proud to be a Ballston original. We made the decision to remain in Ballston because it is truly a great place to live, work, play and learn. Marymount can’t wait to introduce its new Ballston campus and move forward with the rest of the neighborhood for years to come.” — Dr. Matthew Shank, Ph.D., president– Marymount University

This is a place where you can be yourself—and still feel connected to a community that is as vital as it is creative. It’s not just about living here. It’s about celebrating life.

Life on two wheels or two feet means you can eat more cupcakes and bacon. Or bacon cupcakes.

Along with being a walkable urban village, our location at the top of the Rosslyn Ballston Corridor means you’ll arrive here without losing your soul in traffic. Ballston is just the right size—small enough to get around easily and feel familiar, but urban enough to be active day and night.

Ballston’s public parking garage with over 3,000 spaces will remain open throughout construction. You can access the garage from its entrances on Randolph Street or Wilson Boulevard. For more information, click here.

Ground has been broken and construction is well underway for Ballston Quarter. Check back for the latest updates as well as what’s happening with the bridge. Also, follow us on Instagram and Facebook for even more up-to-the minute news and info about all of our happenings. We think you’ll agree life around here is very much unboring.
The Wilson Blvd bridge is closed. For more information on the bridge design, click here. A portion of the sidewalk on Wilson Blvd. (under the pedestrian bridge) will be closed as of January 9th. Please refer to the designated signage on site for further route navigation.

To make way for the new bridge, Clark Construction will be demolishing the pedestrian bridge over Wilson Blvd. and ancillary components of said bridge on the following days:

Sunday, May 14, 2017; and Saturday, May 20, 2017.

The tentative schedule will be as follows:
Sunday, May 14: soft strip of portions of bridge glass and other components; tree removal.
Saturday, May 20: removal of bridge, with the exception of columns and footings. We will try to get everything completed this day but will most likely run out of time. In that case we will return either Saturday, May 27 or June 3 to complete. No work Sunday, May 21 due to Taste of Arlington.

This operation will result in a shutdown of Wilson Blvd. between Stuart Street and Randolph Street, with no vehicular or foot traffic access between the hours of 6:00am – 8:00pm (access to garage at Stafford Place II and pedestrian entrance to CVS from Randolph Street will remain accessible). Please note that should an unforeseen unsafe condition be encountered that necessitates the operation to extend beyond these hours, we will require the closure to remain in place until such time that the road and sidewalk can be opened to allow for safe passage.

The bridge will reopen in conjunction with the grand opening of Ballston Quarter in fall 2018.

March 17, 2017

As part of the construction of the Ballston Quarter Residential Tower, N. Randolph Street will be closed between Wilson Blvd. and the Arlington County Parking Garage starting at 9am on Saturday, March 18th and will be reopened upon completion.

Vehicles will be detoured from N. Randolph St. for the entire duration of the closure. The County parking garage entrance on N. Randolph St. will remain open.
